Safety Notes

Ensure that no metal parts are able to rub against each

other, e. g. when controls are operated, when parts

rotate, or when motor vibration affects the model. Metal-

to-metal contact causes electrical “noise” which can

interfere with the correct working of the receiver.

Directing the transmitter aerial

Transmitter ﬁeld strength is at a minimum in an imagi-

nary line extending straight out from the transmitter

aerial. It is therefore fundamentally misguided to “point”

the transmitter aerial at the model with the intention of

obtaining good reception.

When several radio control systems are in use on adja-

cent channels, the pilots should always stand together in

a loose group. Pilots who insist on standing away from

the group endanger their own models as well as those

of the other pilots.

However, if two or more pilots operating 2.4 GHz radio

control systems stand closer together than 5 m, the

down-link channel may be swamped, triggering a very

premature range warning. If this should occur, walk

away from the other pilots until the range warning

ceases again.

Pre-ﬂight checking

Before you switch on the receiver, ensure that the throt-

tle stick is at the stop / idle end-point.

Always switch on the transmitter ﬁrst,

and only then the receiver.

Always switch off the receiver ﬁrst,

and only then the transmitter.

If you do not keep to this sequence, i. e. if the receiver

is at any time switched on when “its” transmitter is

switched OFF, then the receiver is wide open to signals

from other transmitters and any interference, and may

respond. The model could then carry out uncontrolled

movements, which could easily result in personal injury

or damage to property.

Please take particular care if your model is ﬁtted with

a mechanical gyro: before you switch your receiver off,

disconnect the power supply to ensure that the motor

cannot run up to high speed accidentally.

As it runs down, the gyro can generate such a high

voltage that the receiver picks up apparently valid

throttle commands, and the motor could respond by

unexpectedly bursting into life.

Range checking

Before every session check that the system works properly

in all respects, and has adequate range.

Secure the model

adequately, and ensure that no persons are standing in

front of the model.

Before you ﬂy the model, carry out at least one complete

check of all the working systems, and one complete

simulated ﬂight, in order to eliminate any possible sys-

tem faults or model programming errors. In this regard it

is essential to read the notes on pages 80 and 89.

When operating a model, i. e. when ﬂying or driving,

do not operate the transmitter without the aerial ﬁtted.

Check that the transmitter aerial is ﬁrmly seated.

Operating your model aircraft, helicopter, boat or car

Never ﬂy directly over spectators or other pilots, and

take care at all times not to endanger people or animals.

Keep well clear of high-tension overhead cables. Never

operate your model boat close to locks and full-size ves-

sels. Model cars should never be run on public streets or

motorways, footpaths, public squares etc..

any other installed equipment in the model, but in an

easily accessible position. Under no circumstances al-

low servo leads to run close to the aerial, far less coiled

round it!

Ensure that cables are fastened securely, so that they

cannot move close to the receiver aerial when the model

is ﬂying.

Deploying the receiver aerial(s)

The receiver and its aerials should be installed as far

away as possible from all kinds of power system. If your

model has a carbon ﬁbre fuselage, the aerial tips must

always be deployed outside the fuselage. The orientation

of the aerial(s) is not critical, but we recommend install-

ing them vertically (upright) in the model. If the receiver

features aerial diversity (two aerials), the second aerial

should be arranged at 90° to the ﬁrst.

Installing the servos

Always install servos using the vibration-damping

grommets supplied. The rubber grommets provide some

degree of protection from mechanical shock and severe

vibration.

Installing control linkages

The basic rule is that all linkages should be installed in

such a way that the pushrods move accurately, smoothly

and freely. It is particularly important that all servo output

arms can move to their full extent without fouling or rub-

bing on anything, or being obstructed mechanically at

any point in their travel.

It is essential that you should be able to stop your motor

at any time. With a glow motor this is achieved by adjust-

ing the throttle so that the barrel closes completely when

you move the throttle stick and trim to their end-points.
